Hampshire visited the studios in
New York and the coiivei ??tioa
turned to race relations. One boy
in the group, who looked like a
white man, said he was quite inter
ested in what had been said there
that night because Just a week ago
he had learned that he was a
Negro.
DeRochement ariked the young
man to stay and talk to him and
from that conversation grew the
idea for the movie "Lost Boun
daries." Bill White, author, son of
the well-known country editor and
affiliated with the' Readers Digest
Association, was called on to write
the story. To produce the film, the
Headers Digest-deRochement Cor
poration, known as RD-DR, was
formed. It's president? Borden
Mace.
"Lost Boundaries," a story deal
ing with the Negro-white racial is
sue, was an instant success. It fol
lowed the deRochement theme of
the truth dramatically told. The
film was voted one of the 10 best
of 1949. It's leading character was
a then unknown actor, Mel Ferrer.
The next feature length film,
"Whistle at Eden Falls" told a
labor-management story. Here the
theme of the RD-DR Corporation
was again evidenced. The story is
the important thing. No ballyhoo
on "stars," just as it actOally hap
ing of a story as it actually hap
pened.
"Walk East on Beacon" was an
anti-Communist FBI melodrama
based on the major espionage cases
in the United States during the
last war. It too illustrated the RD
DR concept ? to be able to docu
ment t very part of the story.
In addition to the feature length
films, the company produces other
types of movies. Mr. Mace de
scribes it: "Our type of pictures
follow the full spectrum of motion
picture making." A small firm, it
finds no enterprise too big or too
little. In addition to education
films, it makes pictures for clients
such as scientific or commercial
firms.
The highly-praised monumental
film, "Martin Luther," was made
under contract for the Lutheran
churches of America.
Troubles Rise
After the film was ready for
showing ? it was almost three years
in the making ? the major prob
lem arose: getting it before the
public, fn telling of the difficul
ties RD-DR had in surmounting the
religious prejudices, Mr. Mace's
face lights with interest. His eyes '
become alive with the intensity that
one notes only, in those who have
9 raind that grapples with ideas as
well as things. At timtt like those,
it te*not amiss to consider the pres
ident of the firm, truly, as a man
with a mission.
That mission could be described
in various ways, perhaps it is stated
best as simply a desire to reach all
people, with the truth, in a film
story dramatically told.
"Martin Luther" has done that.
When the picture was ready for
release, the regular channels for
distributing films throughout the
United States, said "Nothing do
ing." Fearful of impinging on the
religious beliefs of various sects
and denominations, they refused to
book the movie which tells the
story of the life of the founder of
Protestantism.
Theatres Rented
So in May 1953 RD-DR rented a
theatre in Minneapolis and in one
month 99,000 people paid $85,000
to see the movie. Still the film
distributors said no. So next a
theatre was rented at Hickory, N.
i Mace
C.. then at Houston, Tel., the film
continuing to br ? box office suc
cess wherever it played. But still
the distributors were afraid fo
touch it:
To handle distribution. RO-DK
had to set up n?w offices. And
who engineered the job of getting
the picture to the people? Who has
worried, argued, debated, con
vinced. sold and bargained so that
the people could see one of the
greatest films . of recent years?
Borden Mace.
"It was a real challenge," ha
says. "I've enjoyed working on t he
distribution. The movie's success
has been fabulous. It will open in
London Oct. 8 and then all over
the world. It has been a success
in Germany and we consider that
the highest compliment that could
be paid the picture. The Germans
were convinced that Americans
couldn't do it!"
Mr. Mace attended the recent
meeting of the World Council of
Churches at Evanston. 111., and be
fore coming to Beaufort for a few
days' rest went to Montreal where
there are a few problems in get
ting "Martin Luther" before movie
audiences there.
Volunteered in '41
Mr. Mace unconsciously put his
foot on the path toward the movie
production business when he volun
teered for service in the Navy a
few months before Pearl Harbor.
He was at the University of North
Carolina and as he describes it,
"fed up" with peace rallies and
student demonstrations for peace
at any price.
It wasn't until April 1942 that
the Navy commissioned him an en
sign and made him officer in
charge of procurement, United
States Navy Training Films
In that capacity he visited film
companies all over the country,
tracking down the facilities avail
able for making training films. Up
to that time, the Navy had spent
about $100,000 on training men by
showing them movies. But the pro
cess was so important in getting
aviators in the air fast, that the
investment in training films soared.
Then Ensign Mace was trans
ferred to the aircraft carrier USS
Bennington. Prior to the Benning
ton's being commissioned he was
sent to the Ticonderoga as an ob
server. From ensign he advanced
to lieutenant junior grade and
then lieutenant.
Flies over Tokyo
He was on the first Navy flight
over Tokyo Feb. 22, 1945 and wit
nessed the Japanese surrender on
the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay
Sept. 2, 1945.
After the war, he wa.vas.sign?d
to New York as contracting officer
for termination of war contraets
and happened to be in the same
office wtih the man who is now
vice-president of the United States.
After discharge from the Navy
in June 1946, he completed work
which made him a certified public
accountant. Not intending to con
tinue Hn that field, he harked back
to his UNC days when as an under
giaduate he was assistant in charge
of the Bureau of Visual Instruction
at the University. And it was to
work in the same line that he was
planning to return when the de
Rochement opportunity arose.
His work has taken him around
the world. He has crossed the At
lantic numerous times, visiting
Paris and London a couple times a
year. He has been behind the Iron
Curtain in Yugoslavia and on the
last trip to Berlin went into East
Germany. When he was asked how
he undertook the visit into the

hem, picked up the trousers and
talked out.
He will be given a hearing in
:ounty court today on a charge of
shoplifting.
Russian zone, he replied nonchal
intly, "I just took a taxi."
In 1952 under the government's
Point Four program of giving aid
io under-developed countries, Mr.
Mace took a year's leave of absence
from RD-DR, circled the globe, but
?pent most of the time in Rangoon,
Burma and Mandalay.
Glamorous? Yes, it is. But Mr.
Mace would be the last one to be
ittracted to the movie world be
cause of its glamour, lie has found
i place where his abilities can be
put to use in bringing to the peo
ple, through vision, some of the
great truths of world, both past

1$ the Culprit
Add 10T Ma turtle e|(l to the
list of probable casualties caused
by Hurricane Edna.
Everett* Willis, Davis, chief
boatswain'f mate at Fort Macon
Coast Guard Station, sadly report
ed Friday that he was afraid his
turtle eggs had been swept out to
sea by Edna.
Mr. Davis had calculated that the
eggs would hatch Sunday.
He had found the egg July 18
while stationed at Atlantic Life
boat Station and dug them up. Ht
reburied them nearer to the station
and then started the wait for their
arrival.
In the meantime, he was transfer
red to Fort Macon Coast Gusrd Sta
tion and told some of his buddies
at Atlantic Lifeboat Station to keep
jn eye on his turtle eggs.
Thursday he excitedly called the
station, expecting to hear that
there were 107 new sea turtles in
the world.
His friends told Mr. Willis that
Edna's rains had washed out the
place where the eggs were and they
believed that the eggs had been
washed out to sea.
Mr. Willis said "If they were
washed out, that's it. But maybe
I just miscalculated on the date.
The babies may show up yet."
